Super Leigh back among elite

LEIGH CENTURIONS have reached the promised land at the fourth attempt. They secured a place in the Tetley’s Super League after extra time in an epic contest, with Neil Turley, their full back, picking up 18 points, a record for an LHF Healthplan National League One Grand Final. Only points difference had separated Leigh and Whitehaven at the end of the regular season, but the Centurions’ superior fitness told in extra time at Widnes, watched by a crowd of 11,005 — the biggest for the National League’s showpiece event.
